Shooting tips
When you are unsure of how to take a picture that you
envision, refer to the information below.
Focusing
Focusing on the subject
Taking a picture of a subject not in the center
of the screen
After focusing on an object at the same distance
as the subject, compose the shot, and take the
picture.
Pressing the shutter button halfway (p. 21)
Using face priority (p. 44)
Taking a picture in [AF Tracking] mode (p. 36)
The camera tracks the subject movement
automatically to focus on it continuously.
Positioning the focus point
Choosing a focus target (p. 37)
Taking a picture of subjects where autofocus
is difcult
In the following cases, after focusing on an object
(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,
compose the shot, and take the picture.
Subjects with low contrast
When extremely bright objects
appear in the center of the screen
74 EN
Object with no vertical lines
*1
*1
It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the
camera vertically to focus, and then returning to the
horizontal position to take the picture.
When objects are at different
distances
Fast-moving objects
The subject is not in the center of
the frame
Camera shake
Taking pictures without camera shake
Taking pictures using [Image Stabilizer] (p. 49)
Using the C (Sport) option in SCN mode
(p. 31)
The C (Sport) mode uses a fast shutter speed
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving
subject.
Taking pictures at a high ISO sensitivity
If a high ISO sensitivity is selected, pictures can
be taken at a high shutter speed even at locations
where a ash cannot be used.
Selecting the ISO sensitivity (p. 39)
Exposure (brightness)
Taking pictures with the right brightness
Taking pictures using [Fill In] (p. 37) ash
A subject against backlight is brightened.
Taking pictures using exposure compensation
(p. 38)
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen for
taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of white
subjects (such as snow) results in images that are
darker than the actual subject. Use the exposure
compensation to adjust in the positive (+) direction
to express whites as they appear. When taking
pictures of black subjects, on the other hand, it is
effective to adjust in the negative (-) direction.
75 EN
Color hue
Taking pictures with colors at the same shade as
they appear
Taking pictures by selecting white balance
(p. 40, 46)
Best results in most environments can normally
be obtained with the [WB Auto] setting, but for
some subjects, you should try experimenting
with different settings. (This is especially true for
sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and
articial light settings, and so on.)
Image quality
Taking sharper pictures
Taking pictures with the optical zoom
Avoid using digital zoom (p. 22, 49) to take
pictures.
Taking pictures at a low ISO sensitivity
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness
that were not in the original image) can occur, and
the image can appear grainy. The resulting image
is grainier than with low ISO sensitivity as well.
Selecting the ISO sensitivity (p. 39)

Camera care
Exterior
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty,
soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe
the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a
dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach,
use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well.
Monitor
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens
Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then
wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
Battery/USB-AC adapter
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left
dirty.
Storage
When storing the camera for extended periods, remove
the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a
cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Periodically insert the battery and test the camera
functions.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical
products are handled since this may result in
corrosion.
The battery and USB-AC adapter

This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery
(LI-50B). No other type of batteries can be used.
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions.
(p. 84)
Power consumption by the camera varies depending on
which functions are used.
During the conditions described below, power is
consumed continuously and the battery becomes
exhausted quickly.
The zoom is used repeatedly.
The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in
shooting mode, activating the auto focus.
A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended
period of time.
The camera is connected to a computer or printer.
Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to
turn off without displaying the battery level warning.
The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time
of purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter
(hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) to charge the
battery before use.
When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging
usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage).
The supplied USB-AC adapter is for charging and
playback only. Do not take pictures while the USB-AC
adapter is connected to the camera.
The included USB-AC adapter is designed to be
used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be
charged with this USB-AC adapter.
Do not use with other devices.
For plug-in type USB-AC adapter:
The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be
correctly orientated in a vertical or oor mount position.
77 EN
Connecting the camera to a computer
The battery can be charged by connecting the camera to
a computer.
Using an optional USB-AC adapter
An F-3AC USB-AC adapter (available separately) is
recommended if the camera will be used for extended
periods.
Note that the power cable supplied with the USB-AC
adapter is for use exclusively with the USB-AC adapter.
Do not use with other devices.
Using your USB-AC adapter abroad
The USB-AC adapter can be used in most home
electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC
(50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the
country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be
shaped differently and the USB-AC adapter may require
a plug adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask
at your local electrical shop or travel agent.
Do not use travel voltage converters as they could
damage your USB-AC adapter.
Using an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card

A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the
lm that records images in a lm camera. Otherwise, the
recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is
also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be
removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not
possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity
cards enables you to take more pictures.
SD/SDHC/SDXC card write-protect switch
The SD/SDHC/SDXC card body has a write-protect
switch. If you set the switch to the LOCK side, you will
not be able to write to the card, delete data or format.
Release the switch to enable writing.

Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may
become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or damage
to the monitor.
Static images displayed on organic EL monitors for extended

periods of time may burn in, causing a drop in brightness
or discoloration in some areas of the display, which may be
permanent in some cases. This phenomenon has no effect on
images recorded with the camera.
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but
this is not a malfunction.
When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the
edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a
malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
Although the monitor is manufactured using high-precision
technology, some pixels may always be lit or may never light,
and color and brightness may vary with the viewing angle.
This is normal for this type of monitor and does not indicate a
malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
